A numerical analysis on three dimensional turbulent incompressible flows through linear cascades of turbine rotor blades with high turning angles has been performed by using a generalized k-.epsilon. model which is a high Reynolds number form and derived by RNG(renormalized group) method to account for the variation of the rate of strain. A second order upwind scheme is used to suppress numerical diffusion in approximating the convective terms. Body-fitted coordinates are adopted to represent the complex blade geometry accurately. For the case without tip clearance, velocity vectors and static pressure contours are shown to be in good agreement with previous experimental results. For the case with tip clearance, the effects of the passage vortex and tip clearance flow on the total pressure loss as well as their interactions are discussed.

Three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of flow around a hipped-roof building representative of UK inland conditions are conducted. Unsteady simulations are performed using three variations of the k-ϵ RANS turbulence model namely, the Standard, Realizable, and RNG models, and their predictive capability is measured against current European building standards. External pressure coefficients and wind loading are found through the BS 6399-2:1997 standard (obsolete) and the current European standards (BS EN 1991-1-4:2005 and A1:20101). The current European standard provides a more conservative wind loading estimate compared to its predecessor and the k-ϵ RNG model falls within 15% of the value predicted by the current standard. Surface shear stream-traces and Q-criterion were used to analyze the flow physics for each model. The RNG model predicts immediate flow separation leading to the creation of vortical structures on the hipped-roof along with a larger separation region. It is observed that the Realizable model predicts the side vortex to be a result of both the horseshoe vortex and the flow deflected off it. These model-specific aerodynamic features present the most disparity between building standards at leeward roof locations. Finally, pedestrian comfort and safety criteria are studied where the k-ϵ Standard model predicts the most ideal pedestrian conditions and the Realizable model yields the most conservative levels.

Jet pumps are used in a great number of engineering applications. In the present study, jet shapes, mixing chamber shapes, and numerical methods for predicting the performance of an annular-type jet pump are investigated to determine the optimal turbulence model. The flow fields are simulated by solving the momentum and the continuity equations with the standard ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ and the RNG ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ turbulence models at different Reynolds numbers. After that, they are compared with the corresponding experimental data to determine the optimal model. Next, various calculations are conducted to find an optimal shape using the selected turbulence model. The study shows us that the RNG ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ model predicts the performance more exactly, and also shows that the most effective performance can be achieved with $12^{\circ}$ reducing angle and 130mm throat length.

The airflow characteristics of an air-conditioning duct with multiple diffusers were investigated through one-dimensional analysis, CFD simulation and experimental measurement. One-dimensional program based on Bernoulli's equation and minor loss equations was developed in order to evaluate the air distribution rate at each diffuser. In CFD simulation, three-dimensional flow characteristics inside air-conditioning duct were computed for incompressible viscous flow, adopting the RNG k-$\xi$turbulence model. Also, in an effort to equalize the discharge flow rate at each outlet, the optimization procedure has been performed to obtain the optimum diffuser area. In this process, square of difference between maximum discharge rate and minimum discharge rate is used as an object function. Diffuser area and discharge velocity are established as constraints. After optimization process, determined design variables are applied again in CFD simulation and experiment to validate the optimized result by one-dimensional program. Comparison with the experimental data of airflow rate distribution showed that the developed program seems to be acceptable and can be useful design tool for an automotive air-conditioning duct in an initial design stage.

표준 k-${\varepsilon}$, RNG k-${\omega}$ 그리고 k-${\omega}$ SST 난류 모형과 VOF (volume of fluid)기법을 이용하여 사각형 광정위어를 통과하는 난류 흐름의 수면 변화와 유속분포를 수치모의 하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정확도의 유한체적기법을 이용하여 해석하였으며, 두 개의 서로 다른 격자해상도에서 계산을 수행하여 수치해석 결과의 격자 민감도를 분석하였다. 계산 결과를 Kirkgoz et al. (2008)의 실험 결과 그리고 Moss (1972) 및 Zachoval et al. (2012) 무차원화된 실험값과 비교 분석하여 적용한 수치모형의 정확도를 평가하였다. 수치모의 결과는 사각형 개수로에 설치된 광정위어 흐름의 실험결과들을 합리적으로 예측하고 있으면 적용한 난류모형에 따라서 두 개의 주요 흐름분리 영역에서 계산 결과에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 표준 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형은 이들 두 개의 흐름분리영역의 크기를 과소산정하고 있으며, k-${\omega}$ SST 모형은 위어 전면부에서 발생하는 흐름분리 영역을 다소 과대 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. RNG k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형은 전반적으로 양호하게 두 흐름분리 영역을 예측하는 한편, k-${\omega}$ SST 모형은 위어 상류부 모서리에서 발생하는 박리거품의 발생 형태를 가장 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

A numerical simulation of the incompressible multiphase hydraulic jump flow was performed to compare the interface prediction through the use of the three RANS turbulence models: $k-{\varepsilon}$, $RNGk-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$. A three dimensional no submerged hydraulic jump and a two dimensional submerged hydraulic jump were modeled. Both the geometry and the mesh were created using the open source Gmsh code. The project's geometry consists of a rectangular channel with length and height differences between the two dimensional and three dimensional simulations. Uniform hexahedral cells were used for the mesh. Three refining meshes were constructed to allow to verify simulation convergence. The Volume of Fluid (abbr. VOF) method was used for treatment of the air-water surface. The turbulence models were evaluated in three distinct set up configurations to provide a greater accuracy in the flow representation. In the two-dimensional analysis of a submerged hydraulic jump simulation, the turbulence model RNG RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ provided a better interface adjust with the experimental results than the model $k-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$. In the three-dimensional simulation of a no-submerged hydraulic jump the k-# showed better results than the SST $k-{\omega}$ and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ capturing the height and length of the ledge with a better fit with the experimental results.

기존 해수취수시스템의 경우 해수오염, 부유물질, 취수의 불안정 및 유지관리의 어려움 등으로 인해 해수취수의 어려움이 발생하곤 하였다. 이와 같은 단점을 극복하고자 매설식 해수취수시스템을 개발하여 격포항에 설치하였다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 시스템의 거동을 검토하고자, 수질관측 및 3차원 수치모의 실험을 수행하였다. 이 취수시스템에 대하여 총 5회에 걸쳐 COD, 총질소, 총인, PH 그리고 부유물질에 대하여 수질분석을 수행한 결과, COD, 총질소, 총인, PH의 경우 취수 전 후 저감 효과는 미미하였다. 그러나 부유물질의 경우 수산용수 1급 5 mg/L 이하로 정화되는 효과가 나타났다. 수치모형은 유한체적법 기반의 CFX 모형과 RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ 알고리즘을 선정하였으며, 여과사, 외부관 지름 및 두께를 재현하기 위해서 다공성 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 수치모의 실험을 수행한 결과, 2중관 구조가 내외부관 사이의 공간에 의해 압력의 분포를 균등하게 하여, 흐름 상태나 안정적인 취수측면에서 유리한 것으로 분석되었으며, 취수관을 다열 배치하였을 때 중앙 취수관과 비교하여 양쪽 취수관에서 유량이 0.98배로 감소하였지만 유동의 간섭현상은 발생하지 않았다.

The present study is concerned with the flow patterns induced by various impellers in a rectangular tank. Impellers are FBT (Flat blade turbine), PBT (Pitched blade turbine), Shroud turbine, Rushton turbine, and Helical ribbon turbine types. The solutions of flows in moving reference frames require the use of 'moving' cell zone. The moving zone approaches are based on MRF (Multiple reference frame), which is a steady-state approximation and sliding method, which is an unsteady-state approximation. Numerical results using two moving zone approaches we compared with experiments by Ranade & Joshi, which have done extensive LDA measurements of the flow generated by a standard six-bladed Rushton turbine in a cylindrical baffled vessel. In this paper, we simulated the flow patterns with above-mentioned moving zone approaches and impellers. Turbulence model used is RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model. Sliding-mesh method is more effective than MRF for simulating the rectangular tank with inlet and outlet. RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model strongly underestimates the velocity of experimental data and velocity by Chen & Kim's model, but it seems to be correctly predicted in overall distribution.

In the present study, the flow around a circular cylinder at $Re=3.6{\time}10^6$ is numerically simulated using URANS approach. The objective of this study is to evaluate the turbulence models(Realizable k-${\varepsilon}$, RNG k-${\varepsilon}$) through the prediction of the unsteady flow characteristics around the cylinder. The time-averaged drag coefficients and vortex shedding phenomenon in the wake region are compared to available experimental data and other numerical results. The simulation with Realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ model is found to be more dissipative due to large eddy viscosity predicted in the wake region while the simulation with RNG k-${\varepsilon}$ model predicts a complex vortex shedding phenomenon with more coherent structures realistically.
